PARKSIDE metal bandsaw from Lidl. Which bandsaw blade should you choose?
For PARKSIDE metal bandsaws from Lidl, you need a bandsaw blade 13 mm wide. The corded PMB 1100 takes a 1140 mm long blade, the cordless PMBA 20-Li a 730 or 733 mm long blade. Below you will find the blade for your model, the tooth pitch to suit what you cut, and a link straight to the cart.
Which blade for a PARKSIDE metal bandsaw
The saw determines the blade width and length. All you choose is the tooth pitch, based on what you cut.
Corded bandsaw
PARKSIDE PMB 1100
blade1140 × 13 × 0.65 mm
The same blade fits versions A1, B2, C3 and the newer B20. Not sure which pitch? 8/12 is the general-purpose one; you will find the others below.
Does your old blade say M42 12.7 × 0.65? It is the same blade as the one we supply. M42 means bi-metal with a high-speed steel cutting edge, and 12.7 mm is the inch size (½″), which corresponds to a width of 13 mm.
Do you have the PARKSIDE PBS 350 wood bandsaw? It takes a longer 1400 mm blade. You will find its sizes and pitches in the article Woodcutting bandsaw blades for PARKSIDE bandsaws.

Which tooth pitch to choose
For tubes and profiles, the wall thickness decides; for solid bar, the diameter. The spacing between the teeth should roughly match the wall thickness.
10/14 TPI
Clean cut
Tubes and profiles with 1–2 mm walls, solid bar up to 20 mm.
14/18 TPI
Very thin walls
Profiles with walls up to 2 mm. Only made in 0.5 mm thickness.

Common questions from the comments
These are the questions you ask us most often in the comments below the article.
? I bought my saw in Germany. Will your blade fit it?
Yes. All versions of the PMB 1100 (A1, B2, C3) take a 1140 × 13 × 0.65 mm blade. For the cordless PMBA 20-Li, it depends on the version – see above.
? I want a 14/18 TPI pitch.
We only make that one in a thinner version, 1140 × 13 × 0.5 mm. It fits the PMB 1100 just as well as the 0.65 mm blade.
? Do you sell rubber tires or other parts for the saw?
No, we only make bandsaw blades. Please get spare parts from the saw manufacturer.
? Do you sell the saw itself?
No. The saw is sold by Lidl; we supply blades for it, welded to the exact size.
? My saw is a different brand.
Look it up in blades by bandsaw model. If you can't find it there, all you need to know is the blade length, width and thickness – just enter them in the configurator.
Bandsaw blades by material
Cutting something other than metal too? We also weld made-to-measure blades for other materials.

Hello! Band saw blades 1140 x 13 x 0.65 TPI 10/14
Good afternoon, thank you for your message. We would like to make a small clarification: The Parkside PDS 130 (120) B3 (120 W) model is a scroll saw (jigsaw / fret saw), which does not use band saw blades, but scroll saw blades. Our company specializes exclusively in band saw blades (e.g. for Parkside band saws PBS 350 A1 or PBS 350 B2). For better guidance, you can consult this article on Parkside band saw blades: Blades for the PARKSIDE wood saw from Lidl. Unfortunately, we cannot offer compatible products for scroll saws. Sincerely, the Simonds team
For the Parkside PMB 1100 B2 saw, a blade with a length of 1140 mm is used. So you will need a EPIC GP 1140 x 13 x 0.65 mm with 10-14 TPI saw blade, which is a suitable saw blade for cutting thin-walled materials. You can also choose a different spacing, depending on how large the materials you are cutting are.
Thank you and good luck, greetings Simonds team.
Good morning, thank you for your inquiry. For the Parkside PMB 1100 B2 bandsaw, blades with a width of 13 mm are suitable. For cutting profiles, we recommend the cutting blade with a pitch of Epic GP 1140x13x0.65 TPI 10/14: Pitch 1.8–2.5 mm – solid up to 20 mm, wall thickness 1–2 mm or
Epic GP 1140x13x0.65 TPI 8/12: Pitch 2.1–3.2 mm – solid up to 20 mm, wall thickness 2–3 mm For cutting solid material up to a diameter of 30 mm: Epic GP 1140x13x0.65 TPI 6/10 – pitch 2.5–4.2 mm, solid up to 30 mm, wall thickness 3–6 mm
We recommend trying different variants and comparing which one best suits your needs. Best regards, The Simonds Team.
